We're going to need to invent sophisticated traffic control artificial/virtual intelligences before flying cars ever become realistic. Humans cannot handle cars that stay on the ground without killing tens of thousands of people per year. Add the vertical dimension and the nightmare expands substantially. Flying cars may very well be possible, but only if computers are driving them and we're just along for the ride.

Most pilots are maniacs. In 20 years of flying, I've seen more bizarre and terrifying behavior than I ever would have believed. Flying cars that are not 100% automated would be a disaster of epic proportions.

Futurists are up against the changing societal values of... the future. Your kids won't want quite the same crap you do, and they will work towards a perceived higher cause that our generation ignores. shiat, they might be communists!I tell this to my parents every day.

Farker Soze: Wow... "Delusional" is just a word in the DSM. You... You're on a whole other level. Sweating, crying over your sci-fi posters, eagerly calling your pasty friends masturbating over the death asteroid, chanting in your Space Church about the species, thinking that absolutely nothing has changed in 3000 years, but that a few test pilots that soaked up 5% of the USA's GDP for 10 years somehow means something... Sick. Very, very sick.

It won't be pretty when in 50 years you'll still be here, right on this horrible mud ball you hate so much, probably having been to the doctor's at least once to get some antibiotics that didn't exist 3000 years ago, and realizing that your space whackjob dreams will. never. ever. happen. ever. even until the Sun is a cold iron ball.../So please, go back to how we lived 3000 years ago if you think nothing's changed//I "lose" in the sense that you're so far gone, it's best just to agree with you, otherwise you might start cutting yourself///Or better yet, go to the Moon, but don't ever come back or ask for a single atom from Earth, you suicidal, idiotic space child.

In the next 150 years will we develop the technology to have fark ignore comments that QUOTE someone on your ignore list? Speaking of which, I didn't see replicators (that's what 3d printers are, right?) on that list.

You're either an amazing act, or one of the saddest, most pitiably wretched collections of negativity and bitterness I've ever seen.

It might be a good idea for you to look up the historical outcome when someone pronounces something "impossible," by the way... you should at least leave yourself some out when the "impossible" happens. Or you can always be like the Catholic church and spend 400 years pretending that the earth doesn't orbit the sun

The future is here! Go to myFark/Tools, and check Ignore posts from unignored users that mention users on your ignore list (Exact match of bolded names) and Ignore posts from unignored users that contain logins on your ignore list (Fuzzy match of names).

Of course, if you have me ignored, you won't see this. Which is ironic, but I don't blame you. I'd ignore me also, given the chance.

If you did ignore him, but didn't know you can ignore posts that mention people you've ignored, then you probably CAN see this since this is my second post. Take advantage of this opportunity, and consider unignoring Farker Soze as he is clearly capable of amazing posts!
